Worked example

With Value = 1, From = Kanal, To = Square Feet:

1 KANAL =5,445 Sq Ft
  • In marla: 20
  • In gaj (square yards): 605
  • In acres: 0.125

Bigha is not standardised across India, which is why this tool lists regional variants. For Punjab/Haryana it is commonly taken as about 9,070 sq ft (the convention used here); some records use 21,780 sq ft (the 20-biswa convention). Confirm the convention in your local land records before relying on a conversion. 1 gaj = 1 square yard = 9 sq ft.

Bigha varies by region - this tool uses the selected regional standard.

Common questions

How many square feet are in 1 gaj?

1 gaj is one square yard, so 1 gaj = 9 square feet. Select Gaj (Square Yard) in the form above to convert any value.

272.25 square feet in the standard Punjab/Haryana system (9 sarsahi of 30.25 sq ft each).

How many square feet are in 1 kanal?

5,445 square feet - one kanal is 20 marla.

How many square feet are in 1 bigha?

There is no single answer - the bigha changes by state and sometimes within a state. Commonly cited values: about 9,070 sq ft in the Punjab/Haryana convention, 27,225 sq ft for the Rajasthan pucca bigha and eastern UP, and 14,400 sq ft in West Bengal (20 katha of 720 sq ft each); western UP is often quoted lower, at about 6,806 sq ft. Pick the closest regional variant in the form and confirm the exact value in your local land records before relying on it.
